My dad stepped on my floor-length veil at the altar. It was affixed so securely to my hair that my head jerked back violently. On the video, it looks like I'm having a small seizure.

My dad worked for Heinz, which means that I ended up with all sorts of weird ketchup and pickle related promotional items. The most memorable was an alarm clock that was shaped, as I recall, like a guy with a tomato for a head. Instead of a buzzer, the alarm was a voice recording that said something like, "Get up

It's amazing how many guys I've seen show up before a court ordered drug test with freshly shaved heads, because they "just wanted to try a new look" or "summer's coming, and I get hot."

"I just can't."

I've heard this from my son too many times to count.

As someone who regularly peruses Splash of Pink and then buys Lilly at consignment shops, I have to say that I am pretty excited about this! I'm a Lilly lover from way back, though I have to say you must be really careful choosing your styles - the cut of some of the dresses can be really unflattering. I'm loving that

My mother gave me the best career advice I've ever received: Never feel bad about leaving a job, because your company will never feel bad about laying you off.

I think we are the same person, but married to different people, because my husband actually likes both of those things. Our entire relationship is based on toilet humor and musical theatre references.

If I announced that we would live like that, my husband would be thrilled, because he would consider this a real labor saving choice. Jesus, it makes me nuts.

RIGHT?!?! WTF is it with the non-closing of cabinets! My husband works at home, and when I come home from my office, the kitchen always looks like it was tossed by some intruder - every fucking cabinet door and drawer is open!!!!!

My husband hates to throw anything away that might be useful someday. He is also totally nostalgic about stupid things. Just this evening he warned me not to throw out a disgusting, shrunken, threadbare beach towel that is unravelling on all sides. Why? Because this towel is special to him, as he used it at the

This is my mother! When I first moved out on my own, she asked me constantly if I had enough toilet paper. Now she only asks me this when I'm having a party. She is genuinely concerned that I will have a bunch of people over and there will be a toilet paper crisis.

Lea Salonga also toured in a stage version in 2008:

Absolutely! I would have been so pissed that he did this for a whole year!!!!! WTF?!

What bothers me most about this is that he did it for a year. It would have been a cute idea if he had done it for, like, a week, and then made a 2 minute video. But a YEAR?

I had to teach myself how to do basic housekeeping stuff. My mom never made me help out, which I loved as a kid, but now realize was a pretty bad idea. I think she just realized it was speedier and easier to do it herself when I was at school than to make me do it. The result was that I don't think I ever dusted a

I'd give anything to have a movie of this.

DHave you heard the "Ghost of Bobby Dunbar" on TAL? Incredible story of a woman going to great lengths to find out the truth about her family...whether her grandfather was a famous missing child. Fascinating.

This list is spot-on except that Tagalongs are second only to Thin Mints. I know, because I'm the cookie mom this year for our troop. Behold our guest room.

Another example of how my general cluelessness/obsession with musical theatre collided:
